About $500 people saw very close
game at the West st. Paul park yester-
day afternoon, Oshkosh winning by a
score of 7 to 6. There were, however,
very few brilliant plays, and the errors
by, the Oshkosh team and the umpire
were very numerous, and those of the
latter very costly. For instance, Hoy
Overran third base in the third inning
and Cleveland touched him when his
hand was full foot from the base, but
Deegan refused to call him out and he
scored on Doran'S sacrifice. In the
eighth inning Gastfeld was plainly
touched out by Crooks at second, but he
was allowed to remain on the base and
little later crossed the plate on
KrOck'S hit to center field. In the ninth
inning Stockwell sent the ball to COOney
at short, and the latter threw to Shafer
and he to first. The umpire called both
McCauley and StOckwell out, but the
latter reached first ahead of the ball.
Deegan'S umpiring in the Milwaukee
game was also entirely against the home
team. The GLOBE does not urge that
he be displaced, nor does it believe his
decisions are wrong from malice, but
it sincerely hopes he will be more
watchful in the future and do exact JUS
tice to both contestants.
THE OSHKOSH TEAM
did some wretched fielding, scoring five
errors in the third inning. Hoy, how
ever, was a marked exception to the
Generalization, and to his fine work in
the field and at the bat the visitors may
credit their victory. The dummy"
went to bat five times, getting a single
and two pretty doubles, and in the field
he took five long flies, one of them an
almost impossible catch which would
have let in two runs had he failed to
reach it. O'Connell also did well what
he had to do, as did Ellis, but the play
of the rest of the aggregation was not
above mediocrity. KrOck's success was
nearly all due to his good fortune. The
st. Paul men hit him hard at all times,
hands of the fielders. Twelve of the
put outs were on flies-eight of them by
the outer circle. The fielding of the St.
Paul team was not bad. Only four err
rOrS were made, those of Viau and Sow
derS being eXcuSable. Pickett'S play at
short was extra good and his base rum
ming splendid. Viau made a remarka-
bly, pretty catch at center field, and
Crooks second base play was, as usual,
perfect. McCauley's fielding was steady
and his batting heavy. Wilmot had no
fielding to do and he had poor success
with the willow, though he crossed
the plate twice. Cleveland hit
the ball well, but his wild throw in the
eighth inning. gave the man life who
scored the winning run. Neither Sow
ders nor Stockwell was in good form,
the former letting in a run in the sixth
Inning by pitching ball ON the wrong
side of the batter, and the latter having
-four passed balls, two of which were
very costly. Prescott played right field,
but had nothing to do. Murphy was not
in the game IN account of lame Shoui-
der. The score is as follows:
